rm − remove files or directories
rm [OPTION]... FILE...
This manual page documents the GNU version of rm. rm removes each specified file. By default, it does not remove directories.
If a file is unwritable, the standard input is a tty, and the −f or −−force option is not given, rm prompts the user for whether to remove the file. If the response does not begin with ’y’ or ’Y’, the file is skipped.
Remove (unlink)
the FILE(s).
−f, −−force
ignore nonexistent files, never prompt
−i, −−interactive
prompt before any removal
|
−−no−preserve−root do not treat ’/’ specially (the default) |
−−preserve−root
fail to operate recursively on ’/’
−r, −R, −−recursive
remove the contents of directories recursively
−v, −−verbose
explain what is being done
|
−−help |
display this help and exit |
−−version
output version information and exit
To remove a file whose name starts with a ’-’, for example ’-foo’, use one of these commands:
rm −− −foo
rm ./-foo
Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it is usually possible to recover the contents of that file. If you want more assurance that the contents are truly unrecoverable, consider using shred.
